Felix Hernandez is planning to pitch for Navegantes del Magallanes of the Venezuelan Winter League in late December.

It'll be his first time pitching in his native Venezuela since 2003, when Felix was 17 years old and just beginning his professional baseball career. Hernandez will probably only appear in a handful of games for Navegantes del Magallanes, using the experience as prep for the Winter Baseball Classic and the 2017 MLB season. The 30-year-old right-hander finished 2016 with a disappointing 3.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 122/65 K/BB ratio in 153 1/3 innings. Nov 15 - 6:10 PM

Felix Hernandez allowed three earned runs over just three innings Sunday in a loss to the Athletics.

Stephen Vogt hit a solo home run in the top of the first inning and the A's added two more runs via RBI singles in the top of the third. It was only a 47-pitch outing for Hernandez, who finishes the 2016 season with a relatively disappointing 3.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 122/65 K/BB ratio in 153 1/3 innings. He's due $25.9 million in 2017. Oct 2 - 5:48 PM

Felix Hernandez gave up 10 hits and eight runs -- four earned -- over 5 2/3 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

King Felix allowed two runs out of the gate but settled in after that, hurling four scoreless frames before the fateful six-run sixth inning. Hernandez got himself into some trouble in that inning, but a two-out error by first baseman Adam Lind prolonged the inning and paved the way for four more unearned runs to cross the plate before the bleeding stopped. The loss dropped the 30-year-old to 11-7 with a 3.71 ERA through 24 starts. His last start of the 2016 season will come Sunday against the Athletics. Sep 28 - 12:29 AM

King Felix wasn't striking out batters left and right (he finished with four whiffs on the afternoon) and he struggled with his control at times (he walked three), but no matter. This was a clutch performance in a big spot as the Mariners cling to hope for a late Wild Card run. The veteran hurler finished his seven innings of work having thrown 112 pitches, 64 for strikes. Hernandez holds a 3.61 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 116/63 K/BB ratio across 144 2/3 innings for the season as a whole. Up next on the docket is a potentially huge road date with the Astros. Sep 21 - 8:13 PM

Steve Cishek will be sidelined for the next 4-6 months after having surgery last week to repair a torn labrum in his left hip.

Cishek spent time on the disabled list but return to pitch with the injury in the second half this season. However, he decided to go ahead and get it taken care of now. Given that Opening Day is less than six months away, there would seem to be a pretty good chance the reliever might begin next year on the DL.
